LOOPING AND LOOPING: Got myself a new rock pedal a couple days back, as a bit of a “holiday treat.” I worked my ass off this year, so I hit up the rock shop for a new pedal. Small rewards. Arlie told me to get this one, or maybe another larger one. I don’t know. Thanks, buzzbomb.

Anyhoo, it’s pretty fun. I strum a couple bars and then loop that, and noodle over that, and plop a little riff on that, and before you know it, you got like six layers of shit going on. Pretty fun. I’m feeling a little “Pedal Crazy” with this acquisition, kind of. Rock talk.

Added it to our always-growing Rig Specs list.

SOME TREASURES IN HERE: Vintageworkwear.com. Get in there and savor the old ways. Things were just simpler. Good lessons for a complex world.

And, on a weirder note, let’s all try to keep the fetishizing of this stuff in the right place, you know? I mean, shit, I love looking at the old ways in order to inform what I’m lucky to touch in my own life, but, hell, some of the stuff I see out there just plain creeps me out. Too many commas. Motherfuckers dressed up like lumberjacks and Amish folks and dockworkers and whatever else. Halloween. Kinda weird. I should just shut up. Sorry. (Thank you to Chris Fato for sending this one in. Thanks, buster!)
